Garment with heating assembly

Abstract

A heat producing garment with a separate control. The garment comprising a power source and a heating package located at the specific part of the garment and including; a heating device energized by the power; and a control circuit for controlling the heating status of the heating device; and a switch assembly separated from and electrically connected with the heating package allowing control of the on/off status of the heating device. The separation of the control from the garment would allow the heating of the garment to be easily controlled, allow the control to be encased in a hard protection, and allow the control to be replaced if broken.

1 . A garment, a specific part wherein adapted to give off heat, the garment comprising:
 a power;   a heating package located at the specific part of the garment and including:
 a heating device energized by the power; and 
 a control circuit for controlling the heating status of the heating device; and 
   a switch assembly separated from and electrically connected with the heating package allowing control of the on/off status of the heating device.   
   
   
       2 . The garment as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a wire electrically connecting the switch to the control circuit, the wire being enclosed by an electrically insulating material. 
   
   
       3 . The garment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the garment has a torso area that contains the specific part and an appendage area where the switch assembly is positioned. 
   
   
       4 . The garment as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the appendage area further includes a container for accommodating the switch assembly. 
   
   
       5 . The garment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the heating package further includes a thermally insulating material enclosing the heating device and the control circuit. 
   
   
       6 . The garment as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the heating package includes a temperature sensor and the control circuit includes a micro controller that receives signals from the temperature sensor.
